ynna: no that makes no sense.
APG:"Tora: Hopefully you've not been waiting all night for an answer about a potential snap election." - correct
"These are weird times. An 80 seat majority is a challenge, but if there was a mass exodus of Con Mp's from their Party then would this not prompt a no confidence vote?" - an actual exodus, perhaps but this is just one minor issue, not going to cause a crossing of the floor. I'm sure the Tory detractors would not want to risk their seats for what is basically a non issue.
"I'm not a particularly political person neither a loonie Left nor a canting Con, but people I know who are staunch Tories are embarrassed and at the same time furious at the way this government have mislead the Public. " - embarrassed, furious, etc, no doubt but when all said and done would they want a GE etc on the strength of one non issue? That really is giving the media power beyond their calling.
